    “Wikipedia is built on the premise that it becomes better when more people of different backgrounds—including political persuasions—source, edit, curate and research content. Our equity goal advances that. The ‘Safety & Inclusion’ goal (now titled ‘Safety & Integrity’ in our 2024-2025 plan) is focused on ensuring that people are able to freely access and safely contribute to knowledge on Wikipedia in a changing legal and policy environment globally.”

        Reliable sources means outlets that don’t outright lie or over embellish. I think you’ll find that most conservative media outlets tend to do exactly those two things. And I would 100% count both Reason and The Hill as conservative media outlets that walk the fine line.

        Not their fault conservatives lie and generally contradict even themselves.

          And liberal sources don’t?

          • The laptop is Russian disinformation.

          • The vaccine will prevent you from getting Covid.

          • The Steele dossier proves that Trump is in bed with the Russians.

          That’s just off the top of my head.

          Mr. Musk believes that Wikipedia has become a mouthpiece for the left. Based on their list of Reliable Sources, how do you counter his argument?

            The laptop is Russian disinformation.

            Which laptop?

            The vaccine will prevent you from getting Covid.

            Please read up on evolution, and herd immunity. A reputable source making this claim was probably using it as shorthand because stating that “The COVID vaccine and boosters are effective at reducing the infection and propagation of specific common strains of covid 19 to the point where you may not feel the effects or shed enough virus to infect other people” isn’t really as catching of a headline.

            The Steele dossier proves that Trump is in bed with Russians.

            I have yet to see counter evidence to the claims made in the Steele Dossier, and Steele himself still stands behind the report, which can not be said for certain trump agents who falsified Ukrainian corruption claims about Hunter and Joe Biden.
